After deleting those items, and taking ownership and deleting all of the D drive auto-download folders, I got to the last folder (which uploaded itself this morning) and it wouldn't let me delete it. It said it was open in another program. Its a mystery to me.

The computer is still running hot and hard all of the time, even after a reboot. Not sure if its malware or just my computer.

Thank you for the PayPal offer but the service is free. If you really want to donate then please pick a worthwhile cause and provide them with the donation as I'm sure it would do much more good for the poor.

You need to go to Control Panel\System and Security and there you can change when updates from Microsoft happen.

Control Panel\System and Security\Windows Update\Change settings

I would recommend that you keep it on to check at least once per week. Then you can set a time that is to your liking. 3:00AM was chosen by default so that for most users it would update and reboot while they were sleeping.

The folders are normal and you should not try to remove them unless you're sure that all Windows updates have completed and you've restarted the computer a couple of time to make sure.

Let's go ahead then and run through these scans just to make sure that anything else left hiding is found and removed.

Please go ahead and run through the following steps and post back the logs when ready.

I've tried to run mbar.exe a couple of times. When I click to run it, I get a blue screen that says Windows will shut down to prevent damage to my computer. Then my computer restarts and sits on a blank screen for several minutes before returning to my log-in password screen... Maybe I should delete and try to download mbar again?

Please uninstall ALL versions of Java from the system and then reboot the computer.

Then do the following.

Please download the attached fixlist.txt file and save it to the Desktop.NOTE. It's important that both files, FRST or FRST64 and fixlist.txt are in the same location or the fix will not work.

NOTICE: This script was written specifically for this user, for use on this particular machine. Running this on another machine may cause damage to your operating system.

Run FRST or FRST64 and press the Fix button just once and wait.If the tool needs a restart please make sure you let the system restart normally and let the tool complete its run after restart.The tool will make a log on the Desktop (Fixlog.txt). Please attach or post it to your next reply.

Note: If the tool warned you about an outdated version please download and save it to your computer, do not run it from the Browser. Save it then quit your browser and then run the new one.
